How do I prevent an upright piano fallboard from falling on playing fingers?
Piano

I have grudging kids with access to an upright piano with a fallboard that does not have the slow fall feature. Is there an easy way to prevent the fallboard from falling on their fingers while they're playing the piano?


how about a cinch of foam glued to the underside of the fallboard, if it falls the foam will hit the keys & hold it up

I'd in reality prefer a grand piano but I'm afraid I cannot afford it and people say that a good upright piano is much better than a small baby grand at a cheaper cost. I have a tight-fisted budget and can anyone recommend a good, high-quality...


You'd be tucker off buying an upright piano as you'll get more for your money. It may even be worth checking the local classifieds for free / cheap pianos; they're a pain to move and proper pianos are often given away if the buyer collects. With a...

What kind of upright piano should I get?

My outfit is small but I want to get a upright Piano and was wondering what kind should I get.


Here are lots of uprights. Unless you are set on matured look, Yamaha would probably be a good modern looking one. I personally like the ones in black lacquer.

JoJo Hermann and His Missing Cats

It’s a Thursday afternoon in August and Widespread Alarmed keyboardist JoJo Hermann is outside enjoying the summer sunshine near his Franklin, Tennessee about. His children are playing in the background as he speaks with Jambands.com. After a light summer festival tour with Panic, Hermann is now hitting the track again with the band and fellow Southern rockers The Allman Brothers, as well as embarking on a tour with old friend Sherman Ewing as part of their new side invent, Missing Cats.

The all-acoustic duo will play five southeast dates this Fall: Carrboro, N.C. (9/15), Wilmington, N.C. (9/16), Charleston, S.C. (9/17), Athens, Ga. (9/18) and Asheville, N.C. (9/18).

AJ: You have a new obligation with Sherman Ewing and are about to begin touring as Missing Cats. How did you and Sherman first meet?

JH: We met back in college, like 20 years ago, and we played together in Sherman and the Bureaucrats. I was the drummer for that tie. So we’ve known each other for many years. We’ve always stayed in contact and jammed together a little bit. We went on the road, and did some shows with me on an acoustic piano and him on an acoustic guitar. We’ve got enough songs that we’ve written together—and some of the Smiling Assassins fiddle-faddle—and finally had enough to play a show or a set together. So I said, “Let’s think of a name or something.” There are signs all around the neighborhood, saying “Missing Cats”—[because] the coyotes eat the cats—and I was like, “Well, that’s a saintly name. Let’s go with that.” Sherman said “Yeah, that’s cool.” So we thought that would be fun—I mean not for the cats though… [Laughs.]
